Boing!

Well, it's been a while. I've been busy. You've been busy.Anyway, I actually took some time to test out a piece of functionality for the new version of Gorgon. This new version of Gorgon will have a graphics API separate from the 2D renderer (the 2D renderer uses the graphics API however). This is unlike the previous version where the renderer was pretty much all you had access to. I had a user ask me a long time ago if it were possible to access the underlying renderer to render 3D along with the 2D. At first, it did not, but I did hack in a way to access SlimDX directly through a plug-in and it was awful.So, in this version I decided to give the developer access to the full graphics API under the renderer. This allows the user to switch between 2D graphics and whatever they want. And here's the results of my intense labour pain:

Yep, it's a clone of the old Amiga demo "Boing". As you can see, there are 2D elements (the text and the logo) along with the 3D elements (which were all done manually I might add, Gorgon does NOT have a 3D renderer so don't get too excited). I've decided to include the code as an example program for the new Gorgon.Rejoice.
